Training doesn’t end when the lesson does. Behind every ride is a constant flow of texts, phone calls, vet updates, planning, problem-solving, and worry—often happening long after the barn lights go out. Being available is part of the job, but learning when to step back is part of staying healthy and present for the long haul. #ThePlaidHorse #TrainerPerspective #BehindTheScenes #BarnLife #HorsePeople #Horsemanship #EquestrianCommunity #HorseShowLife #WorkLifeBalance #hunterjumper
